Question

Tree Brothers spent different amounts of money on their recent vacation. Matt spent $25 less than Todd. Jeff spent as much as Matt. How much did each brother spend if they spent a total of $275?

Answer 1

Matt spent $25,while Todd spent $125.

Answer 2

(T - 25) = M = J

T + M + J = 275

Plug in for M and J

T + (T - 25) + (T - 25) = 275

3T - 50 = 275

3T = 325

T = 108.33 (about)

Todd pays $108.33. Matt and Jeff pay $25 less than him.

108.33 - 25 = 88.33

Todd : $108.33
Matt : $88.33
Jeff : $88.33
